Descriptive Writing: Prewriting and Draft

For this task you will explain the prewriting and draft stages of your writing process in a descriptive article about what makes sense for you.

Remember important places important to me. Please use sensory details to explain this location. Please make sure that readers feel "together" with them and can react emotionally to the selected place.

Including sensual details: What did you hear? What did you see? What smell did you have? What is your preference? What do you think about a special place?

Avoid resolving direct issues (Do not write "I want to write about my most special place" - this will save you the trouble of reading).

Direct the article in an orderly logical way to enter and leave the space.

Remember: Tell the audience that what is going on is not your goal, leave the storyline scenario and show the reader the attitude to the theme and that theme through the explanation

* If you are handwriting photographs in advance, scanning, or taking pictures you wrote on paper, load the images onto your computer and insert the images on a separate page after the draft.

Last month, we learned the advance writing. Pre-creation is done before drafting the document. Including thinking, taking notes, talking to others, brainstorming, summarizing, and gathering information. Prewriting is an activity that you participate for the first time, but creating ideas is an activity done throughout the writing process. During writing, the writer selects a manageable theme, identifies the purpose and audience, drafts texts representing the main concept of the work, gathers information on topics, and starts organizing information. As an example of prewriting, there are brainstorming, free writing, and questions. Many people will find it useful to use their shape planners and graphic organizers to organize their ideas during the pre-creation process.

The writing process consists of various stages of pre-creation, drawing, modification, and editing. In many ways, pre-creation is the most important of these steps. Pre-creation is the "creative idea" part of the creation process as the student seeks to determine the theme, place, or viewpoint of the target audience. It is necessary to prepare and provide the time necessary for students to plan or summarize the materials of the final product. The stage before writing is also called "conversation stage" of writing. Researchers have decided that speaking plays an important role in literacy skills. Andrew Wilkinson (1965) created the term "auracy" and defined it as "ability to express myself and communicate freely with others through word of mouth". Wilkinson explains how oracy improves reading and writing skills. In other words, speaking about topics will improve writing.
